Haha, from some people's perspective I guess so. He was ahead of his time.

Never seen a movie with reserved seating before.. How do theaters typically enforce it? Do they have ushers directing you and having people move if they're in the wrong seat?
Also, I'm seeing it in 70mm IMAX at the Indiana State Museum. I've never been to a real IMAX theater before. What should I expect going in?

Dont wookies use weapons and tech? Wasnt that why Lucas changed Endor being the wookies home planet?
It was because thr wookie costumes were going to be to expensive

It really bums me out that it's because of people like him that Sci-fi and animation movies often get snubbed and thought of as only mindless entertainment.
I don't care what anyone says "Up" and "Wall-e" and many other animated movies have more heart and effort put into them than 90% of live-action movies.

That would make sense. I could have sworn I read that he made the change because it would be weird to have wookies be so primitive after seeing how smart Chewie is.
Or something like that.
But I believe the wookie costumes being too much was the actual reason.
I just want to see it so that I can think about other stuff. I haven't been able to pull myself away from reading this thread, haha. Spending time with my girlfriend later will give me a break at least.
But Star Wars is is one of those series that is credited with having a well crafted moral message

In anticipation of TFA I've been rewatching all of the movies (started with prequels) with my girlfriend who is seeing them all for the very first time. It's been interesting getting her take on them.
Basically:
-She enjoyed "Quinn Jinn" (seriously what she called him), but pretty much disliked everything else about Phantom Menace, though agreed Darth Maul was cool.
-Despite some goofy parts, she liked Attack of the Clones more than Phantom Menace and watching them again, I'm almost inclined to agree.
-Revenge of the Sith was once again better than the last so was getting more into the story.Was shocked at Anakin slicing up the kiddies.Literally spit out her water and began laughing at Padme "losing the will to live"
-Obi Wan was "by far" her favourite prequel character
-While watching a New Hope, she started ranting about how it looked much better due to the practical effects. She became enraged every time I commented on a change Lucas made. She now hates George with a passion.
-She loved the Hoth battle in Empire and prefers wacky puppet Yoda over CG ninja Yoda
-She doesn't understand the appeal of Boba Fett. At all.
-Is very much enjoying the romance between Han and Leia
We're watching Jedi tomorrow, but I know she's excited for ewoks.

"Should TFA win best picture this year?"
"Is TFA culturally insensitive for casting a black Stormtrooper as a member of the Space Nazis?"
"How much better would TFA have been if Lucas had made it?"
"Why was JJ Abrams allowed to make this movie?"
"I JUST SAW STAR WARS" by Yoshichan
"Are there female Wookiees?"
"Should Gwendoline Christie's legs get their own movie?"
Dont forget the tons of "its shit" threads

Shit, yeah, that'll be the first one, you're right.
Sounds like you are having a lot of fun! I want to do this with my GF, but she's going to be much more critical and less fun (her imagination is much less child-like than mine).
Always wondered this myself. Atrocious..

Was it the same or another?
"I tried to love her, but TFA didn't love me"
"How am I supposed to watch movies again after new SW"
"Did anyone else think that new SW movie wasn't... actually... good?"
"Am I the only one who hates TFA end."
"JJ Abrams has now ruined two franchises. Thoughts?"
"I have watched The Force Awakens 20 times already. What about you?"
"Am I crazy for not 'getting' Star Wars?"
"Am I the only one who HATES Kylo Ren."
"Lightsaber colors are shit in new movie"

"You're on a date with the last Star Wars character you saw"
"You're in a fistfight with the last Star Wars character you saw"
"You wake up as the last Star Wars character you saw"
"TFA, ANH, and TPM, you gotta fuck one, marry one, kill one, GO"

I remember reading that it was the same one but it just looked terrible.. I dunno if it was decay or bad lighting but it was one of the few instances where the CGI really brought it back up.

If Neogaf wrote some sort of script that automatically screened out all threads starting with "Am I the only one..." I'd be okay with it.

"Do you think there should have been more clone wars references in TFA?"
